Big news from Walmart — the retail giant is cutting around 1,500 corporate jobs as part of a plan to cut costs and speed up decision-making.
With tariffs and rising costs squeezing retailers everywhere, Walmart is reshaping its tech and operations teams to stay lean and move fast.
Walmart’s U.S. CEO John Furner and Global CTO Suresh Kumar said the goal is to remove layers of complexity and help teams innovate quicker.
But don’t think this is just about cuts — Walmart is also opening new roles tied to its growth plans.
What’s driving this? Tariffs on imported goods are hitting hard, and Walmart can’t keep absorbing all the cost without raising prices.
So, the company’s trimming corporate roles but also gearing up to adapt to a rapidly changing retail landscape.
If you’re worried about job security or thinking about your next career move, this is a reminder: industries shift fast.
Being adaptable and ready to learn new skills is more important than ever.
